Serving up modern milkshakes made with unique ingredients and creative garnishes, The Straw has quickly garnished attention for foodies and families alike. Located in Costa Mesa, their storefront is simple and straight-forward, making the experience 'all about the shake'. Visit once to snap photos of their colorful offerings such as 'The Wonka' (featuring a variety of berries, pop rocks, confetti sprinkles plus a candy straw), but visit twice to get ahold of their addicting 'Donkey Kong', a banana and cookie butter shake with chocolate chips... served with a cannoli! Not to mention, many of their offerings are available dairy-free, as well as low-calorie, making it a spot for anyone and everyone to indulge at. Owner Patrick Nguyen and his team are bringing something truly different to the table for dessert, so grab your straw and get slurpin'!
